This definitely sucks. But hey,as Adverser pointed out, there may very well be a secret cure for Alzheimers that almost nobody knows about just yet.
it is no secret.
They just have to make the drugs to cure it. Shouldn't take too long. every enzyme/acid/protein has a catalyst, the only thing to do is make that catylst water soluble (if it isn't already) and figure out the smallest amount that is effective and safe.
90% of curing diseases is figuring out why they cause symptoms.
Yeah, but there's also the matter of making the drugs safe for human consumption. If the drugs simply cause other problems in return (or kill the individual), they're basically worthless. AIDS is a prime example. Right now, there's no known way to cure AIDS without killing the person you're trying to cure. Somewhere deep within the world, a safe cure for the disease probably exists. But it hasn't yet been discovered.
HIV is effectively cured. The treatment stops the disease from progressing so it never turns into AIDS and the t-cell count returns to normal. But cure would imply it would be fixed, while it is, you must maintain the treatment for it to continue.
In other words, it freezes its progress and reverses its effects so long as you keep up the treatments.
...and this agent in the blood that causes alzeimers is not necessary for anything that they are aware of, it is a harmful by-product that once eradicated from the body would only have a positive effect.
